                                         -16-                                         
          were due to be submitted to the Court), Mr. Kauffman met with Mr.           
          Gazi and his son in Baltimore, after driving from Florida for               
          that purpose.  At this meeting, which lasted for several hours,             
          Mr. Kauffman reviewed the settlement offer in the Gazis’ case               
          with Mr. Gazi and his son for computational errors or omitted               
          adjustments.  Mr. Kauffman then explained to Mr. Gazi and his son           
          that he would contact Ms. Miller and request further review of              
          certain items.  He gave Mr. Gazi an “approximate number” of the             
          “fairly large” tax liability that would result from the                     
          settlement agreement and reiterated that petitioners could pursue           
          previously discussed options in seeking an offer in compromise or           
          uncollectible status.  Mr. Kauffman then went out to dinner with            
          Mr. Gazi and his son.                                                       
               Mr. Kauffman subsequently spoke with Ms. Miller and                    
          requested several computational adjustments.  Certain                       
          computational adjustments were made, as reflected in the                    
          stipulated decision that was filed with the Court on June 30,               
          2003.                                                                       
               In November 2003, Mr. Gazi received IRS collection notices             
          for the liabilities reflected in the stipulated decisions.  Mr.             
          Gazi called Mr. Kell to seek his legal assistance.  In a letter             
          to Mr. Kell dated November 18, 2003, Mr. Gazi wrote:  “I have               
          fired Mr. Kauffman.”  Mr. Kell declined to take the case, and Mr.
